Meeting with the Board of Assessment Appeals

State law requires at least three sessions of the Board of Assessment Appeals to hear residential and commercial property appeals for the Grand List that is filed by the Westport Assessor. The Board continues to meet until all appeals are reviewed and notices are mailed to all applicants. This enables the Board to file the Final Board of Assessment Appeals Approved Grand List which is required prior to the Board of Finance meeting to set the mill rate.

The Board of Assessment Appeals consists of three elected members. No more than two are members of the same political party. The term of office is four years.

The Board of Assessment Appeals has all the powers and duties conferred or imposed by law on Boards of Assessment Appeals.
